DNS doesn't update when IP changes on VDI

December 14, 2015, 3:00 pm
$

0

I have approx 95% of my end users set up with VDIs (VMware Horizon View). When we have to reset or recompose a seat it typically gets a new IP as AD sees it as a new computer but when the VDI gets the new IP it doesn't update DNS. DHCP lease is set for 30 min (per best practice). I cannot find anything in the event logs and we do not get name conflicts. Other than shortening the lease time, is there another recommendation? I am hoping DNS and DHCP can work together on this instead of having to delete the old DNS name each time this happens.

Thanks,

when i enable sharing on port 443 it says "vmware workstation failed to connect to the workstation server". but if i use a different port like 25655 its all fine but i cant connect to the shared vm's on a different pc(i also cant fine anything using port 443 that would be blocking it). is it because im not using the default port, and should the ip be XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:25655. also just to double check the username/password is the same username /password for the host machine that i log into when the pc is turned on

Thinprint takes a long time to map printers on P25 zero client

April 16, 2014, 5:29 am

We are working on a POC of Horizon View 5.3, and are down to an issue with thinprint/autoconnect.  If I connect to a View desktop from the client on my PC, the printers map and show up almost instantly.  I can run 'tpautoconnect.exe -d all' and 'tpautoconnect.exe -v' manually and they are removed and then remapped very rapidly.

 

But from the Wyse P25, it is a different situation.  It takes a full two minutes for the printers to be mapped at logon.  After they get mapped, I can run the two autoconnect.exe commands and it will will run much faster, but does pop up the 'no client found' message box.  It also lists the protocol as WTS, where the fat client shows PCoiP.  The P25 should also be using PCoiP.  Something just doesn't seem right here.  Is there something I should be looking for, or is it normal for it to take that long to initially map the printers upon logon from a zero client?

 

Our intention is to roll out the P25s as desktop replacements to our call center staff. 

 

I have included below the output from the autoconnect commands, the first from the P25 and the second from the fat client for comparison.

 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

I have two pools that are linked to clones.

When users log into Pool A everything seems to be working fine.

 

When they log out of Pool A and connect to Pool B

The system starts with welcome screen and then goes black.

A message will appear saying exeplore.exe has stopped. Another appears saying explorer.exe can not start.

 

If the user logs back into Pool A, the system will work fine.

 

I can access task manager and try to start explorer.exe manually but it will not start.

Addition of Windows RC to a LINUX Appliance cluster

Hey fellow vROp-ers,

 

I'm running a vROps 6.1 cluster (1 master, 5 data, 3 RCs) that is currently 100% SuSe Linux from the standard appliance deployment software.

 

I'm running into a need that requires a Windows based Remote Collector.

 

When I attempt to deploy the windows installer software I get an error that says "Previous installation attempt failed with the following errors:   Node <RC name> platform, NON_VA_WINDOWS, is incompatible with these PAKs on admin node <Master node name>: vRealizeOperationManagerEnterprise-6103038037. The admin node platform is VA_LINUX."

 

So, I get that my cluster is the Virtual Appliance Linux deployment.  What method do I need to follow to add an RC that is Windows based?  Is it possible?

 

Thank you,

Processor compatibility for vMotion

December 14, 2015, 5:03 pm

We have just upgraded to vSphere 6 Essentials Plus so we can take advantage of vMotion. We are building an almost exact replica of our existing Dell PowerEdge T420 server, so that we can have high availability for our VMs, moving them from one physical server to the other, as needed. In looking through the DRS cluster documentation, it says that processors "must come from the same vendor class (Intel versus AMD) and the same processor family to be compatible for migration with vMotion. (vSphere 5.5 Documentation Center)"

 

Our current server has an Intel Xeon E5-2440 v2 processor (8 cores, 20 MB cache, 1.9 GHz). The vendor we are purchasing our new server build from has the same processor model number (Intel Xeon E5-2440), but with 6 cores, 15 MB cache, 2.4 GHz. They would have to special order the exact same processor we currently have. Will we run into any issues if the rest of the hardware is the same, but the processors are slightly different? Same vendor, same family, even same model number - just with less cores, less cache, more GHz. Is there anything I should consider before moving forward?

 

Thanks!

permissions in web client

October 23, 2015, 1:36 pm

I just upgraded to 6.0U1 and I'm running into some issues with the web client for some users (non-admins). This is a clean install of 6.0U1. My permissions are controlled via AD groups which I set on the folders. From what I can tell, the issues below are known issues but I'm not sure the best way to work around them.

 

I have these problems at the moment:

 

1) Users don't see power on operations in web client task try. The little icon for the VM doesn't seem to update so it's not clear the VM was powered on but it does.

 

2) I have one user who sees an empty inventory in the web client. Other users had the issue but I discovered I had to add the read-only permission on the cluster and then they were ok but it doesn't seem to fix the problem for one user (windows client is fine though)

 

3) Sometimes users get the following error:

 

The "Power on virtual machine" operation failed for the entity with the following error message. Virtual machine cannot be found.

 

Long story short, I created a new AD group, added existing AD groups to this new "all" group, then adding the "all" group to the data center object seems to fix everything.

 

The problem is that adding permission at such a high level seems to allow people to see a lot of things they shouldn't see. The only solution I can see is to live with it, or have to go and put a ton permissions on other vm folders with the no-access role.

 

Is there a better way or is this just a known issue with the web client I'm stuck with until VMware fixes it?

 

 

Thanks

I have a Windows 2008 R2 VM running on an ESXi 5.0 platform.  In the Inventory tree it shows up grayed out with an "Invalid" status.  There are no options to restart this VM from within the client - that I can find.  But the VM itself is working.  I can even use RDP to log into the MS Server.  I just cannot mange it from with vClient.  Any suggestions?

Hi there,

 

I am setting up VRO 6.0.2 Appliance in our lab. I see that the VRO configuration is horribly slow. All I am trying to do is import SSL from individual components like vCenter, SSO and so on and for each it takes around a 3-5 mins. The VRO is configured with 2vCPU, 6GB RAM and using FC Storage on a Symmetrix VMAX.

 

The VC configuration is killing me.

 

Please help.

1. Hi everyone,

I have created a vm kernel port for VMotion and i have given private ip address lets say 10.1.1.X (VLAN ID=100). This ip address should it be mentioned in the switch to communicate.

or this ip is just internal and will communicate with the management network as i have put the default gateway of the management network. I am confused here plz guide me.

 

2. I need to create a port group in distributed switch plz guide me.

In standard switch i need to create the port group for each individual host how about distributed switch, is this same way here also.

Recover data from VMFS/VMDK

Hi all,

Last week I had a big trouble with the data lost. The data from VM restore to snapshot date (July 2016) and I don't know how it happen. My step is:

- I wanted to increase the size of Hard Disk from 40GB to 160GB.

- I opened to VM Snapshot, delete all to snapshot.

- I shutdown the VM, edit the hard disk from 40 to 160GB.

- Start the VM (Windows 2012), the VM can not boot up because error Inaccessable file ....

- I tried to attache that VMDK (160GB) to another server to get data back, but when mounting to server the disk need to be check & repair (by windows checkdisk). After repair, I able to view the data but all that files back to July 2015..

 

I tried to reach VMWare support, but they said that if I can attach the VMDK to read from another VM, So no issue need to be supported by VMWare. They are not guarantee my data and refer me the link for data recovery service.

What should I do now?

I plan to run some recovery tool, but first for safe I will move all the running VM to another datastore. Is it OK?

 

For the information, the datastore is running FC, Storage mapping from HP 3PAR.

 

Thanks so much.

Possible to Speed up CVD Move Process

December 7, 2015, 11:22 am

I realize this seems like a silly question and I'm certain the answer is 'no' but desperate times...

Also I'm very new to Mirage; it's system that was here prior to my arrival that was largely unmanaged until recently when a certain something hit the fan.


We have 3 volumes one of which is full.

We're trying to re-balance CVD's across the two less-full 2 volumes but this process takes an uncomfortably long time.

  • About a third of the move operations take about 24hrs
  • Another third takes 2-5 days
  • The rest upwards of 7 days

In addition to the moves taking ages, it seems to takes an equally lengthy amount of time for the server to 'realize' the newly available space after the move.


Endpoints are not getting backed up and we've already felt the wrath of a critical VIP who needed a bare metal restore.


Is there another way to move CVD's that might be quicker?

Is there any way to influence the performance of this process: Moving CVD's from one volume to another + realizing the new free space?

Is there any way to determine the bottleneck, be it the way Mirage works vs the server hardware vs network connectivity vs storage etc?



Server is all-in-on box with Mirage 4.3.0.24687 running on Server 2008 R2

Dual Xeon E5450 16GB RAM

One volume is local and the other two are shares local to the Mirage server.

Variable problem

I am trying to add a number to the end of a variable to use in a for loop. I have imported a csv with Import-Csv into a variable called $csvImport which contains 8 items referenced as csvImport.disk1, csvImport.disk2 and so on up to disk8.

 

I am trying to increment the number at the end of disk so that I don't have to use 8 if statements. Here is my code:

 

for ($i = 1; $i -lt 9; $i++)

{

    if ($csvImport.disk"$i" -ne "")

    {

        do stuff

    }

}

 

The code is wrong but I'm looking for some advice on how I can achieve having $csvImport.disk"$i" return $csvImport.disk1, $csvImport.disk2 and so on in the loop.

VXLAN appears missing in ESXi 6.0

May 1, 2015, 11:53 am

I have been trying to automate the testing of our NIC cards with VXLAN, and it has been nothing but a nightmare.  I am using the 'net-dvs' commands per VMware NIC certification guides, and the documentation is rife with errors.  Anyway, I finally was able to configure two ESXi5.5 hosts and send encapsulated traffic between two virtual machines; one on each host.  However, there is still a VXLAN issue.  It is erratic in operation.  By erratic I mean a test case would work, at the most, two times in a row, and then it would fail.  In this case, failure is defined as bi-directional traffic does not pass between two virtual machines, one on each host.  Run it again, and it would mayber pass or fail. I finally decided this is an ESXi 5.5 issue since it occurs with two different vendors NICs, and different drivers.

 

I upgraded my ESXi hosts to 6.0 hoping that would resolve the issue.    Wrong.

 

After loading 6.0, my first thought was that VXLAN is now correctly working.  I was able to run my test case 10 times, and it passed each time.  However, after looking into it, I realized it is passing because the traffic is not encapsulated VXLAN traffic.  It is regular traffic going between two VMs.  Apparently, VXLAN is missing from ESXi 6.0

 

6.0 Issues:

[root@dut1088:~] vmware -v

VMware ESXi 6.0.0 build-2494585

[root@dut1088:~]

 

This is what I have found with ESXi 6.0.

 

First, the VXLAN module ‘vdl2’ is missing.

 

[11:29:00] (AddVxlan) COMMAND vmkload_mod vdl2

[11:29:06] (AddVxlan) RESPONSE: ['VMKMod_ComputeModPath(vdl2) failed: Not found', 'vmkload_mod: Can not load module vdl2: not found']

 

Is there another module that replaces ‘vdl2’?  If so then what is its name?  If ‘vdl2’ is still used then where do I find it for 6.0?  It was included in the default ESXi5.5.

 

However, the other commands for configuring VXLAN appear to work, except the traffic is not encapsulated.

 

[12:10:37] (AddVxlan) COMMAND net-dvs -s "com.vmware.netoverlay.layer0=vxlan" -p globalPropList TEST_DVS

[12:10:42] (AddVxlan) RESPONSE: []

[12:10:42] (AddVxlan)

[12:10:43] (AddVxlan) COMMAND net-dvs -s "com.vmware.net.vxlan.vmknic=1" -p pgvmk_vxl_1 TEST_DVS

[12:10:48] (AddVxlan) RESPONSE: []

[12:10:48] (AddVxlan)

[12:10:48] (AddVxlan) COMMAND net-dvs -s "com.vmware.net.vxlan.id=16777216" -p VXLAN TEST_DVS

[12:10:54] (AddVxlan) RESPONSE: []

[12:10:54] (AddVxlan)

[12:10:54] (AddVxlan) COMMAND net-dvs -s "com.vmware.net.vxlan.mcastip=16777455" -p VXLAN TEST_DVS

[12:10:59] (AddVxlan) RESPONSE: []

 

 

Second, the ‘esxcli’ command for verifying VXLAN traffic statistics has been removed from ESXi 6.0.  The ‘vxlan’ namespace appears to have been removed from 6.0.  However, it might be possible the ‘vxlan’ namespace gets installed with the VXLAN 'vdl2' module. 

 

[root@dut1088:~] esxcli network vswitch dvs vmware  vxlan stats list --vds-name TEST_DVS

Error: Unknown command or namespace network vswitch dvs vmware vxlan stats list

 

So, my second question here is what command has been added to verify VXLAN statistics if the ‘vxlan’ namespace has been removed?
